An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-8243 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WordPress/Plugin Upgrade Time Out Plugin. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8243/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8243/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-8243","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8243/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-8243","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c846-2c33-mpmm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject stored XSS payloads via CSRF, potentially compromising admin accounts in the Plugin Upgrade Time Out WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wordpress\\/plugin_upgrade_time_out_plugin","vendor":"felixker"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"The WordPress/Plugin Upgrade Time Out Plugin WordPress plugin through 1.0 does not have CSRF check in some places, and is missing sanitisation as well as escaping, which could allow attackers to make logged in admin add Stored XSS payloads via a CSRF attack.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Plugin Upgrade Time Out \u003c= 1.0 - Stored XSS via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-8243","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Walk/WalkDir in path/filepath susceptible to symlink race","id":"CVE-2024-8244"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in MStore API – Create Native Android \u0026 iOS Apps On The Cloud","id":"CVE-2024-8242"},"products":["WordPress/Plugin Upgrade Time Out Plugin"],"published":"2025-04-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-09","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject stored XSS payloads via CSRF, potentially compromising admin accounts in the Plugin Upgrade Time Out WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8243/"}
